My Creative Scrapbook April Creative Kit

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you're having a great day! If you're looking for a great way to treat yourself I hope you consider trying a subscription to one of the My Creative Scrapbook monthly kits. They select the pattern paper and lots of coordinating supplies and deliver it straight to your front door so all you have to focus on is MAKING! Every month they have several kits to choose from.. their Main Kit, LE - Limited Edition, Creative Kit and Album Kit - so you can choose what's right for you!

This time I'm working with the April Creative Kit. This kit includes die cuts, stickers, stencil and premium 12" papers from Doodle Bug's Over The Rainbow Collection. I love that every month there are collections from my favorite brands and that the papers are original weight designer papers - no thin flimsy paper here!

This collection has bright colors, cute critters, and lots of sweet little gnomes. There are LOTS of larger word / sentiment die cuts. There are lots of little hearts and flowers to use as embellishments and scenes came together quick.

The majority of the images I used are from the sticker sheets in the kit. To make them more manageable I peel them from the sheet and rub their sticky backs with baby powder. This makes them more like printed die cuts - I can move them around without worrying about them sticking anywhere I don't want them. When it's time to affix them I used a liquid glue.

I like to use the 3x4 journaling cards as focal points. The lighter ledger prints make them easy to break up the bright colorful patterns. The sticker sheet even has a few borders that add nice accents to your designs.

There's lots of sentiments too - speech bubble stickers and strips so you're sure to find the right sentiment for your project.

I invite you to join one of their monthly kit clubs and experience the possibilities that their coordinated kits offer. With plenty of innovative materials and ideas to jump start your imagination, preserving your memories and making cards will be effortless and enjoyable.

Spellbinders Quick and Easy Card Club

Have you tried one of the Spellbinders club kits yet? It doesn't get easier than this! You receive a box of coordinated supplies delivered direct to you and ready to work with. Here's a peek a this month's Quick and Easy Card kit.

With the new year comes a few changes to the kit. You might notice the price is about $10 less than last year. That's because the die kit and stamp set that were included in the past will no longer be in the kit. I think this is a good idea because honestly I never really used the stamps because there are so many sentiments in the kit. I will miss the die but for the savings it seems like a good trade off.

This kit has lots of pastel colors - think pink, soft green, baby blue and yellow. The prints are gingham, rainbow newsprint, hearts, plaid and floral. You get one sheet each of 20 different 6x6" printed papers to work with.

I used gingham to create some rolling hills as a landscape for the orange tree and little house. It looks like a great day!

There's a puffy sticker sheet loaded with different sentiments to choose from - they look like label maker labels.

The kit includes a rainbow and clouds and even a sun shine because the weather is always just right in my sweet escapes to the craft room.

If you're looking for a great way to treat yourself I hope you'll try one of the Spellbinder kits that are delivered to your front door. You'll find that they're a great value and will save you lots of time because you wont have to go shopping for all the prefect coordinating elements. A subscription for $29.50 a month provides a fabulous Quick & Easy Card Kit filled with LOTS of supplies to work with including a pattern paper pad, stickers, die cuts, and lots more.

You Make Me Smile

Hi friends! I hope you're having a great day! Today I'm sharing a slimline card made with beautiful Birch Press Design Florals!

Flowers are my favorite and when they're bright and bold I just can't resist - like a little bee and think to myself... MORE PLEASE!!!

To get more from my panel dies I like to think of different uses for them. One example would be adding a texture pattern to another die cut - perhaps some alphabet letters. Just because the die is made for an A2 card doesn't mean that you have to stick with that size. I trimmed the Pinpoint Contour Plate die cut panel to 3 1/2" and layered it over a 3 5/8 X 6 1/2" aqua panel to make a longer slimline card.

I added the gold foil sentiment to the center of the card with adhesive foam tape so it's raised. Next I tucked in various shades of green foliage adhered flat to the card. The florals are all adhered with adhesive foam tape. I used berries as accents to coordinate with the blue background panel.

These gorgeous florals look amazing cut from any of your favorite shades - I made a whole bunch so all I have to do is arrange them and add a sentiment. They're a great addition to your stash!
